One Direction dismiss comparisons with The Beatles

One Direction have revealed that they don’t take the comparisons with The Beatles very seriously.

The ‘What Makes You Beautiful’ boyband, who are currently on tour in New Zealand, told Newstalk ZB that they are under no illusion that their recent achievements are on a par with the success of the Fab Four.

Harry Styles said: "Whenever anyone brings up The Beatles it's always something we dismiss just because they are a whole other level.

"The moment that we get complacent and say 'the music doesn't really matter because they like us' I think that's where it starts going downhill, so for us it's important we make sure the music gets better and better along with us."
